The intercom unit Test Mode allows all ceiling pullcords, smoke detectors and pendants etc. to be tested without
putting a call on the system. Once in Test Mode the intercom will beep as each device is activated, the system will log
each test with the room number, device type, time & date.
The intercom must be in a quiescent state to enter Test Mode; i.e. not in privacy mode, not in away mode, no
message waiting, no alarm call in progress and not awaiting Extracare cancellation.
Note: the same procedure applies to door entry intercoms.
ENTER TEST MODE
1. Press and hold the TEST MODE button for approx 5 seconds until the intercom beeps once then release
2. The intercom light will illuminate white and a 7 tone ascending scale will play once
3. Radio devices (e.g. personal pendants) must be tested first - once any hardwired ceiling pullcords or smoke
detectors are activated no further radio devices will be recognised
4. The intercom will beep twice as each device is activated.
END TEST MODE
1. Test Mode can be ended at any time by pressing the TEST MODE button once
2. The intercom will play 4 descending tones and the white light will go out
3. As a fail-safe the Test Mode will end automatically after 10 minutes.
Hardwired movement detectors (PIR’s) are only reported every 30 seconds, this is to allow movement
through the dwelling to get to the next device without re-triggering the PIR on the way.
